This movie is a beautiful artistic statement, from the scenery of the Australian outback to the wonderful performances from William Holden and young Ricky Schroder. This really showed what was best about Holden's natural brilliance as an actor, the detail and emotion he conveys in his work was unparalleled in almost any other actor of his time or really, ever since.
The story is tragic, yet compelling, about a young boy stranded in the wilderness alone when his parents are killed in a auto accident. A lot is learned in this film in surviving with your own inner strength of body and mind, a concept that has basically fallen by the wayside in our day and age.
Fantastic movie that has unfortunately gone under the radar for too long and hopefully will get a resurgence very soon.
